Carry Finger-Washing Supplies in the Car

"Before you set out on an extended car trip or vacation this summer, stock the car with supplies for washing sticky fingers."

Is it just a little comforting that we have been dealing with kids being sticky since the dawn of man?

I find it reassuring that my experience raising children are similar world wide and across the timelines.

If you are one of those who say "I never let my kid eat in the car", this post isn't for you.

In fact, you can just close out this blog and go enjoy your Instagram filtered life.

For the rest of us real people let's sit and talk about how to survive our gross sticky kids.

Our Almanac suggests some old school tactics for tackling dirty hands.

1. Put a little grease-cutting lemon juice with some tap water in a squeeze bottle.

Y'all

This is great if you want to find out if your kid has a small paper cut.

This just hurts thinking about it.

2. Carry some Wonder Cloths or Handi Wipes

This is more my style.

I use diaper wipes. Those things are great for anything!

3. Reusable Cloths

This is for you crunchy moms.

Get some baby washcloths and mix your favorite essential oils.

Carry in your little reusable container and wash your precious babies with them.

You will clean them, remove germs, and cure Ebola with them!

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye...

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should." Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender.

Scotch Woodcock - Two Recipes "From Mrs. Beeton's nineteenth century homemaking guide: Spread hot buttered toast thinly with anchovy paste. Pour over a sauce made by stirring three beaten egg yolks into 1/4 pint cream, bring to a boiling point, but do not allow to boil or the sauce will curdle." This is a traditional Victorian recipe as you can tell because we get a return from Mrs. Beeton in today's Almanac post. Basically this becomes a creamy scrambled egg on toast with anchovy paste. This is the second recipe for today "Add finely chopped hard cooked eggs to a white sauce that has been seasoned with anchovy sauce and paprika. Pour over toast." If you are wondering what eggs has to do with the title of the recipe just know that most Scottish recipes that contain chicken in it will have the word "Cock" in there too.
